Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 239759 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable heparin binding activity and phospholipase activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid catabolic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including anal canal; epidermis; genitourinary system; gut; and hippocampus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypotrichosis 7. Orthologous to human LIPH (lipase H). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit wavy vibrissae and wavy and matted coats associated with impaired inner rooth sheath formation.
